Hi! I'm new on this forum and I want to apologize for my bad english.
My external HDD fell from desk and now it does this:

Is there a chance for fixing it with home methods?

If the drive was not killed by beeing dropped from the table, you killed it by opening the drive. Sorry to say but a DR recovery now will be very expensive if possible at all. Never ever open a drive outside a clean room if you need your data.

And no, a DIY on dropped drives is not possible because heads are damaged and you will nearly always have media damage. For a recovery from physical damaged drives you need the right tools and there is clean room work involved.

Thank you for your answer. I have opened it becouse I thought that head is stuck. I did such things before and drives worked.

Besides, data aren't that important to spend money to recover them. DIY was the only way, so I tried :)
